About the Item

Apostoline - 1862 Hand-Colored Lithograph of an Apostoline Nun This 1862 hand-colored lithograph features an Apostoline, or Apostoline nun, clad in a simple dark blue habit with a white wimple, reflecting the order's emphasis on humility and devotion. The nun holds a book, symbolizing her dedication to spiritual learning and guidance. Her gesture and serene expression evoke compassion and commitment to her apostolic mission. The Apostoline Order, inspired by the early Christian apostles, is dedicated to spreading faith through acts of charity, teaching, and prayer. Originating in the 16th century during the Catholic Reformation, Apostoline nuns were instrumental in educating young women and aiding the poor. Today, their spirit continues in various congregations, focusing on missionary work and service. This lithograph, part of the *Album ou Collection Complète et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome*, was created by G. Perugini. It offers a beautifully detailed portrayal of the Apostoline habit and provides historical insight into the lives of nuns committed to apostolic works. A valuable piece for collectors of ecclesiastical art, antique prints, or those interested in the history of Catholic religious orders. Translation of Introduction Text: A powerful interest is attached to the name of Rome, an even more profound interest to the name of Christ. Rome, through its genius, the vast intelligence of its warriors, orators, and legislators, prepared the cradle where Catholicism would be born, grow, develop, and establish itself. The history of Catholicism is the history of this great and glorious city above all others. Virgil, in a truly prophetic verse, said: "Tu regere imperio populos, Romane, memento." This prophecy has seen the most noble, illustrious, and glorious developments, all conspiring for the eternal city's glory: its history, arts, monuments, and the religion at its core. Yet no other city offers such a collection, from the monuments of Augustus to those of Sixtus V and Leo XII, from pagan temples to saints' tombs and martyrs' shrines. This union of grandeur is further illustrated daily by the magnificence of Catholic rites. With this album, we present the splendid costumes of the Papal dignitaries and the humble attire of religious orders. These costumes were inspired by the traditions handed down through centuries and were designed with unique precision by the talented artist G. Perugini.

Carmélite - 1862 Hand-Colored Lithograph of a Carmelite Nun This 1862 hand-colored lithograph portrays a Carmélite, or Carmelite nun, embodying simplicity and devotion. The nun is dressed in the traditional brown habit with a white mantle and wimple, reflecting the Carmelite Order's values of poverty, humility, and prayer.
